New Front St Net User System

Hoggles — Mon, 07 May 2012 04:31:37 +0000

We’ve been doing some rearranging of the Front St. Net websites. The forums have been removed and the phpbb user system has gone with them. We are now using Google Accounts as our primary method of authenticating with our set of websites.

So, if you have a GMail account, you can log into any of our sites with it. If you don’t, go get one! They’re free.

We have replaced the forum’s functionality with the Wiki and the blogs here on FrontStStudios.com. News and other announcements will be posted here on the blogs, and any information will be posted on the wiki (which should be more concise than the forums, anyway).

Launcher 3.1 and the New Installer

Hoggles — Sat, 05 May 2012 08:06:29 +0000

A new launcher has been released for the Broken Unity mod. This new program no longer supports versions of the mod earlier than 1.6. It now loads up much faster, however, now that it no longer has to check for the old patches. To insure there are no conflicts, a new full installer has been added to the Broken Unity download page. This installer will download the latest version of the mod, without the need to patch afterwards.

You may also notice that our version system has changed. We now use two decimal places. For example, version 1.600 is now 1.6.0.

BU7 has ended.

Obruum has defeated the mighty Altair Empire.

Everyone keep checking back within the next month or two for information on signups for BU8.

Broken Unity 7 has begun

Mambroz — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:55:30 +0000

Sign-ups have been closed, teams have been picked, and the initial team setup is complete. Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, the war ignites once more. After 6 exciting campaigns, the groups have readied themselves again for war, Obruum looking to retain its title as the nearly undefeated leader, and Altair seeking to redouble their efforts. Broken Unity 7 boasts major changes in gameplay and will be one for the record books. Good luck to both teams.

If you are interested in playing late, sign ups will open tonight at 10:00 PM EST.

Registrations Open!

Mambroz — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:12:51 +0000

I would like to announce that as of this moment I have opened registrations for the Front St. Net Dev blog. We would like to encourage our users to register for this site so they can leave comments on posts. Registering would also allow our community access to private content, should we add some in the future. Currently this site is fully functional although we are still tweaking and adjusting some things. Please feel free to leave us some feedback on the look and feel. You can leave your comments here or you can post them in the forums.

I would also encourage everyone to set up a Gravitar (opens in a new window) as we will be using them in the comments area.

FSN Dev Blog Launch

Mambroz — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:00:11 +0000

I would like to welcome the Front St. Net community to our new Development Blog!

For those of you that have been with us for some time you might recall when we set up a blog for each of our admins. If you can remember that, then you probably also remember how terrible we were at updating them. With the close of Broken Unity 6 we decided to move our development news to a centralized blog for all of our developers. Going forward we have a plan to update this site regularly with progress updates and news about new features. Please note to comment on this site you need to register, at the moment registrations are closed. There will be a news post when registrations open.
